Meaning lives in the small interactions, not just the big events. You change the world. and you matter. #bewell #matter #belong

Why "I'll just do it myself" is often selfish, not selfless. I once shipped a terrible bug because I refused to delegate. It was early in my management career. I had found a performance issue, figured out a major improvement, and jammed the patch through testing. I thought it would save time. Show that I still had tech chops. Figured I didn't want to distract the team. I was actually being selfish. The change went into production and all hell broke loose. Support was on fire. Customers were dead in the water. One of my worst production outages. "It's faster to just do it myself" is an easy trap to fall into. And it might be true. It doesn't enable team development or higher quality though. Refusing to delegate is more about protecting our ego than protecting quality. When we insist on handling everything personally, we're making three statements we'd never say out loud: "My hands-on contributions are more valuable than my team's development" "I'd rather be irreplaceable than build organizational resilience" "I don't believe in my team's ability" Effective leaders view delegation as a strategic investment in team growth. And use situational leadership to get it right (delegation without SL can be disastrous). The professionals I work with average six hours per week of time savings using delegation, automation, elimination, and simplification. And, the team grows faster! What one task are you still doing that, if delegated, would free up your calendar AND develop someone else? #bewell #delegate

I loved working with Daniela Schlawin, an executive coaching client who was in the middle of a major career transition from CEO to founder/CEO. Daniela worked on clarity and decision-making, launched her business in less than three months, and experienced more calm in her life during our time together. What an amazing outcome! "After years in executive roles, I decided it was time for a change. I stepped off the well-trodden path and launched my own consulting business. With all my experience and industry knowledge, I thought it would be easy. Instead, I found myself completely off track. Gone was the structure of daily calls and back-to-back meetings starting at 7:30 AM. Suddenly, I had space, too much space, and no clear direction. I felt lost and stuck. I couldn’t articulate what I wanted, who I wanted to work with, or what I really stood for. And then, no coincidences in life, I met Eric. He became my guide. Eric brought clarity. He worked with sharp analysis, asked tough but essential questions, and helped me focus on what truly matters. His approach was direct and practical: analyze, cross-check, move on. No endless circles of overthinking. That shift alone saved me time, energy, and a lot of frustration.  I feel a calm like I hadn't felt before."

Exciting news! The Peak Performance Masterclass from INTOO was just named best B2B service at the 2025 Business Awards. This was my favorite quote from the reviewer - “The course’s focus on energy management, efficiency, and intrinsic motivation offers a comprehensive framework for fostering productivity while preventing burnout.” We are creating a movement to change our relationship to work. It's a different way of working that honors your biology, physiology, and beautiful brain to do the best work of your life, and feel great at the same time. Let's go!

Have you ever noticed how solutions appear when you stop looking for them? Last week I got stuck creating training content on a complex topic. After hours of frustration and circular thinking, I gave up, closed my laptop, and took dog for a walk on our favorite trail. Halfway through the walk, the perfect sequence of content and exercises suddenly materialized in my mind. Crystal clear. By the time I got home, I had the entire solution mapped out mentally...

You can get your identity from others. Their expectations, projections, and desires. Or, you can create your identity. A powerful identity. Authentically you. Beautifully you. Designed and built by your expectations. #bewell #beyourself

The secret to doing more in less time isn't hustle. It's energy, prioritization and focus. Have you ever noticed how some days you're on fire, and others, even simple tasks feel like a slog? The difference often lies in your approach, not your ability. We have a finite amount of energy and focus each day, and how we allocate these resources can make or break our productivity. Instead of trying to power through exhaustion, use an active recovery break. Instead of working across multiple projects, prioritize what truly moves the needle on one project. Instead of working on the easy tasks first, pick the most impactful. You have to ruthlessly prioritize your activity, your energy, and your focus to move your business and life forward. #bewell #prioritize #focus

Four delegation frameworks that actually work. These are based on my real-world experience leading teams in complex and uncertain environments. To meet the needs of your organization, you need to grow your team faster than the organizational demands. That doesn't mean just adding people to the team and blowing up your budget. You need to build capacity for leadership and expertise at all levels within the team. Or you will end up drowning in tasks and reactive loops, never quite getting a full gulp of air. Try these on for size... #bewell #delegate

Early in my career, I avoided workplace conflict. I smiled, nodded, and privately complained. Later I learned how conflict can be fuel for creativity. I eventually started running towards it instead of away from it...

Most productivity systems are built for factory work, not knowledge work. If your calendar is packed but your energy is drained, traditional time management isn't your solution. Your day shouldn't be a battle against your own biology. Yet that's exactly what happens when we force ourselves into rigid productivity systems designed for predictable, repetitive work. The creative and strategic thinking expected of today's professionals requires a different approach. I've spent years helping executives break free from this counterproductive cycle. The most successful leaders don't manage time, they manage energy, priorities, and attention. Through my work with high performers, I've identified three critical shifts that transform performance: Stop fighting your natural rhythms. Start surfing your biology's natural waves of work and recovery. Stop cognitive load and decision fatigue. Start simplifying with habits, systems, and environment. Stop trying to do everything. Start making fewer, higher-leverage moves. These principles form the foundation of the Corporate Athlete Program, where professionals learn to perform at their peak while actually enjoying their work again. I'm opening two coaching spots in May. Schedule your free session today and discover what's possible when you apply proven performance strategies to your life and career. #bewell #corporateathlete

Use the "traffic light hack" to get your work done, while still being responsive to colleagues. Your calendar shows 8 hours of meetings. Your to-do list demands 4 hours of deep work. Slack/Teams messages are arriving rapidly. These are different types of activity for your brain. Each deserves the time needed. Something's got to give. I used to tell my team that I was available at all times. This means I was willing to be interrupted at any time, and was! By meetings and messages. It was a terrible message to send as a leader. I was saying "I value tactical reactiveness over strategic work". No wonder we were underwater. Once I discovered the "traffic light hack", my team knew exactly when to reach me and when to wait. Here's how it works: 🔴 RED LIGHT (Deep Work Mode) My Slack status: "Deep work. If urgent, call my cell. If not urgent, you're not calling my cell. Calendar blocked" Translation: The building better be on fire. 🟡 YELLOW LIGHT (Semi-Available) Status: "Async mode. Will respond within a couple of hours." Translation: I see you, but let me finish this thought. 🟢 GREEN LIGHT (Open Season) Status: "Fire away! My brain is your brain. Calendar is open." Translation: Let's collaborate! Results after one month: Deep work output: +200% Team responsiveness: Still excellent My sanity: Restored The best part? Make rapid progress on the big rocks that help your business scale and perform. Second best? Give your brain a break from deep work when you drop into batch mode for emails, messages, administrivia. Get into flow when knocking out high volume of tasks in this mode. Pro tip: Share your traffic light hack with your team. Send the message to your team that you expect them to set boundaries and honor their time on strategic work. Change the culture to be less urgent and more strategic. #bewell #bestrategic

There is a huge pile of evidence on the effects of cruelty. Kids affected by cruelty are at higher risk of psychiatric disorders. The stress from cruelty can disrupt the body's stress response. Witnessing cruelty can lessen empathy and increase aggression. You wouldn't be cruel to others. When others choose cruelty, you choose kindness. But are you kind to yourself?

I'm a quitter. I quit hobbies, jobs, and careers. If the activity doesn't fulfill or challenge me any more, I move on. But I was taught that "Winners never quit and quitters never win". We are taught to persevere, to keep going, to get through the hard parts. There's truth in that. We don't want to walk away when we meet resistance. We risk missing out on the reward, the flow, and the outcome. What I want to talk about today is strategic quitting...

Pulling into the driveway, I noticed someone throwing stuff out of a large construction trash bin across the street. I walk over to see my partner, Kerri Eich, in a dress, inside a giant trash bin, collecting perfectly good wood to use in her garden. If you want to solve a hard problem with limited resources, ask a teacher for advice.  The average teacher makes over 1,500 educational decisions daily. Teachers are pros at impossible prioritization, under constant interruption, with limited resources. They bend time to deliver personalized attention to 40+ minds every hour. But what is most impressive is their emotional regulation to maintain patience and presence the whole time. Let's be honest... Our kids aren't always well behaved, organized, and self-starting! I am in awe of what Kerri Eich has built at University High School. She built a food forest, gardens, and a program for kids to grow food, prepare food, and how it affects their wellness. Teaching hundreds of kids daily how to live healthy lives and be leaders in their communities. Be Well Gardens has now influenced thousands of young minds. She did it with grit, determination, and lots of reclaimed lumber! To all the educators out there... Thank you for doing what you do with excellence, patience, and grace. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! #bewell #teach
